Environmental Management System

In April 2020, Fujitsu Group established the Sustainability Management Committee, which plays a role in leading the Group’s sustainability-driven management initiatives. This committee identifies and addresses key global sustainability issues under the Global Responsible Business (GRB) framework, one of which is the environment.
In order to enhance our Group’s EMS as well as to strengthen governance, , each relevant organization (including each business unit, division and group company) within Fujitsu Group that is responsible for advancing environmental initiatives, examines medium- to long-term issues, formulates policies, shares climate-related business risks and opportunities, considers appropriate response measures, and reports regularly to the Sustainability Management Committee. Based on these reports, final approvals and decisions on environmental management within the Fujitsu Group are made by the Management Council. For each specific issue, there are designated environmental organizations in charge that is composed of relevant parties that go beyond the framework of business groups and business units. This structure, shown in the diagram below, enables us to swiftly disseminate and integrate our environmental initiatives across the Group.

The Sustainability Management Committee deliberates on matters related to the environmental initiatives that impact the entire Fujitsu Group which are reported regularly by the environmental promotion units across the group. The reports cover the progress of environmental initiatives, their status towards achieving targets, and updates on new activities. The committee will then determine the directions of mid- to long-term issues in overall environmental management—such as reducing energy consumption and CO₂ emissions and responding to environmental risks. It also conducts environmental management reviews and approves the Fujitsu Group Environmental Action Plan. The designated organizations for each environmental issue (e.g., energy, greenhouse gases emissions, waste, water) address those matters professionally, following a defined implementation process. They identify areas for improvement based on various performance data, propose and promote relevant targets for the Environmental Action Plan, and monitor the progress towards those targets. Upon receiving progress reports from these designated organizations, the Environmental Management Controller reviews and approves the current status and the suggested future direction of the initiatives. In turn, the Group Environmental Management Representative instructs all relevant organizations to take actions on implementing the necessary initiatives.

To further disseminate these initiatives and improve skills, we continually provide environmental training/education and annual briefing on topics such as climate change (including energy consumption reduction), resources (including water) and waste.

The Fujitsu Group carries out its environmental management within a matrix structure combining (1) “business line activities” directly tied to the business operations of various Business Groups and companies (including development of eco-friendly products and the expansion of environmental contribution solutions) and (2) “business site activities” to tackle common themes affecting each factory or business location (such as energy conservation and waste reduction). In this way we carry our environmental management according to the same framework as our management, while also reducing the environmental footprint generated by our business activities and the sale of our products and services.

The Fujitsu Group has established its EMS based on the international standard ISO 14001 and is promoting environmental improvement initiatives across the group. By implementing the EMS globally, the Fujitsu Group further strengthened its Group-wide governance. This also allows the Group to enable an even more efficient and highly effective environmental management. This includes improved monitoring of activities, ensuring legal compliance, and responding to emergencies. As of March 2025, Fujitsu along with 22 domestic Group as well as Fujitsu owned-companies have obtained ISO 14001 Group Integrated Certification.

The Fujitsu Group conducts internal audits in accordance with the requirements of ISO 14001. In FY2024, audits were carried out at 94 domestic sites, including factories and offices of Fujitsu and its Group companies. The audit was carried out based on the audit policy developed through careful review of the previous year’s internal audit results and external audits. As a result, 1 minor nonconformity and 6 opportunities for improvement (conformities). While there were some shortcomings in compliance with certain environmental regulations, no significant risks were found overall.

To maintain our ISO 14001 certification, we undergo external audits conducted by a certification body. In FY2024, in Japan, the Group was audited by the Japan Audit and Certification Organization for Environment and Quality (JACO). The audit results included 39 opportunities for improvement and no nonconformities. The recommended improvement items have been shared across the Group, and efforts are underway to address and implement the necessary improvements.

There were no major legal or regulatory violations or accidents with major impact on the environment in the Fujitsu Group during FY2024.
